We only stayed at Riad Baraka for one evening but it was a pleasant one! We were served fresh mint tea on our arrival, and a great breakfast once we woke up.
The room was comfortable and as described, and the location was great; its just a short walk through some winding medina streets before you reach the markets and souks!

A Home Away from Home in the Heart of Fes

Posted Nov 10, 2017 on Hotels

Fes was an incredible city but our experience there would not have been the same had we not stayed at Riad Fes Baraka. The kind, hard working people who make Baraka tick - Samir, Turia, Samira, Siad and the rest of the staff - do such a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable, welcome, safe, cared for and care free. All within the walls of a gorgeous, traditional riad in the heart of Fes.
Samir and Turia are always around to answer questions, grab you train tickets, set you up with any service you need, have a tea with you, arrange dinner or give you advice. Samir upgraded our room because it was available and because he wanted us to feel more comfortable, all before arranging a great guide for us, booking us hammam appointments and making sure we were lined up for a cooking demonstration.
The food is some of the best food I've ever had. We ate dinner at the riad all three nights we stayed and have yet to have anything in Morocco that compares. Samira is an incredible chef, preparing dishes as if she was feeding her family. We cooked with her in the kitchen one evening and got to observe some of her techniques. An experience I will never forget.
A few random notes/tips: the beds were incredibly comfortable, the pool is a great retreat in summer, swing for a larger room with a bathroom (the suites are totally worth it!), have Samir book you with a guide for your first day in the medina, and book the hammam (it's private, personal and lovely.)

Great place to stay in Fes

Posted Sep 9, 2016 on Wotif

Situated in the medina but on the outskirts which allows you to still be able to GE taxi to your door thus place is paradise inside as a classic Riad is.
The staff are tremendous in particular Samir who looks after your every need
Will definitely recommend this place to anyone and will stay again if ever in Fes.

Bathroom had sewage smell and closet kinda smells to but if you can ignore that than hotel is very good. Nice pool, design, and location. Very nice staff.

Sweet little Treat!

What a little gem of a place. Riads are definitely the way to go. Such beautiful ornamentation!! The reception team were amazing! The bill was accurate. We were three girls, family, and were at the beginning of our trip, so we had a bit of a tiff, and the hosts were kind and gave us the room to work it out. They gave us the support needed to get to the bus station to pick up our bus tickets, which was stressful. The room was beautiful, clean, and quiet. The only little bummer, was that the ladies doing the massage/scrubs were a bit unprofessional. But the riad and its hosts were amazing!

Wonderful Spot

Posted Mar 29, 2016

Pros: Location, decor, and especially the staff.

Location: Great location in the old medina. Within walking distance to great sites and restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay here and wished it could have been much longer. The riad was in a wonderful location in the old medina, which made it easy for us to explore. The decor was both comfortable and, at the same time, distinctive and ornate. It was very kid friendly and our children had a blast. The one thing I want to say especially is that we were impressed by Moroccan hospitality everywhere in the country, but the staff of Riad Fes Baraka really stood out. From the owner on down, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, communicative and helpful. They even went out of their way to reach out to us and help us arrange for good transport on to our next destination (and we only stayed there one night). And the caretaker, Samir, even walked us over to a nearby restaurant so we wouldn't get lost. You couldn't have asked for better hosts.

A beautiful and clean riad. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. We were very impressed with the guides that were recommended to take us through the souks and to visit nearby Volubilis, Meknes and Moulay Idriss.

Convenient and Friendly Riad

The Riad is attractive, conveniently located and staffed by very helpful people ready to make adjustments as needed. We would recommend the place without reservation.

Well-hidden gem in Fes

Posted Nov 18, 2015 on Hotels

The Riad Fes Baraka is a lovely Riad, not too big, with very attentive staff. I was upgraded to a bigger room on arrival, and given a great introduction to the city of Fes. The hotel is quite well-located, about 5 minutes' walk from the Blue Gate, though towards the edge of the Fes medina. Breakfast was sumptuous, and the staff were very attentive.
